A collection of costume jewellery brooches in diverse motifs including floral, foliate, and geometric designs.

Also featured are a circular wreath brooch set with pearls?, a starburst design centred by a large red cabochon stone? with radiating red rhinestone-set petals, and a novelty ice skate brooch in brown enamel with gilt metal effect accents. Other items include a heart-shaped locket brooch with chased foliate decoration, an oval brooch featuring a transfer-print of a bird amongst flowers within a filigree frame, and a knotted ribbon-style brooch heavily set with clear round rhinestones. One small metal link is attached to a fine black chain and is inscribed with the wordmark ELLE. The collection primarily uses standard rollover safety clasps and C-clasps.
